Abstract

This article describes the application of two human-computer interaction tests (IHC) in an Android application© called "+Leite", created to help small milk producers measure the efficiency of their production. One of these tests is called Heuristic Assessment which consists of identifying errors based on the 10 Nielsen heuristics (1998) and classifying them into levels (mild, medium, severe and catastrophic), according to the severity of this error. The other test is called the Cognitive Pathway that consists of the evaluator impersonating the application user and plotting a path to be followed to identify usability problems. In these tests, aspects (positive and/or negative) of the software are raised and, with the possession of these data, it is estimated to improve the application.
